Gnging Sands.

In one of the South Pacific islands are
some wonderful singing sands. These
sands are in a small desert. In the CEN
tire of the desert are about a dozen CO.
coannt trees and about five miles distant
is the ocean. Ka Pnle, a native guide,
and myself reached the trees about noon.
Our horses as well as ourselves were
about used up, travelling through the
deep sand under a blazing sun. AS we
lay stretched at the roots ofthe towering
cocoanuts, the trade wind set in,
cool and refreshing from the
ocean. Notwithstanding the heat
and our wearied condition, there
was an enchantment about the situation
that caused me to think of the beautiful
stories I had read in my childhood. l
began to feel the soft touch of slumber,
and all at once I heard a faint musical

enchanted princes in the olden days. |
tried to locate the melodious sounds. In
all directions there was nothing but hot,
glowing sand. / looked up-there
was nothing but the beautiful
tropical sky and the tremulous
atmosphere. Still louder sounded the
music; it was all around us; it filed the
air. I gazed toward the ocean, and
there, apparently a short distance away,
was a beautiful lake, with its waves
dashing upon m~oss-covered stones. 1t
was not there when we first arri, at
| the place, and l became half convinced
that it was the work of enchantment.
Ka Pule had fallen asleep, and, gazing
at the lake and listening to the music in
the air, I rested my head against the
rough bark of a tree. AS l did so ]
heard the distant gurgle of a brook

4 curious FLOATING Island.

Henry's Lake is one of the wonders OF
the Rocky Mountains, writes a correspond
emit of the San Francisco Examiner from
Boise City, Idaho. Directly on the sum-
NIT of the continental divide, in a de-
preston or gap called Targee's Pass, is a
body of water that was given the name
in honor of an old-time trapper who
made his home on its borders for several
years in the enjoyment of sweet soli-
tude.
Hcnry's Lake is oval in shape and has
an area of forty square miles. 1t IS en-
tirely surrounded by what seems to be
solid land, and one readily concludes
, that it has no outlet. On the west side
lies a level meadow, which floats on the
water, and the hidden outlet is beyond
it. Near the rim of the basin, which at
no distant day must have been the pebbly
beach of the lake, is q shallow pool out
from which flows a creek-the source Of

The Art of Pleasing.

@Why is Slookerson such a social
success and invited everywhere"
asked Bowkorson of Jowkerson. "The
answer is easy" replied Jowkerson.
"Slookerson confided to me his secret
with instructions to convey it to none
but worthy chaps looking for legitl-
mate advancement. He reads every
thing that he can lay his hands on
likely to be pleasant, and cultivates
both large and small talk. He talks
to none longer than he is certain that
he is affording interest. The moment
interest lags he goes. His visits are
short and animated, and he makes
for home the instant that his fund of
material shows signs of running out.
He is one of the earliest to leave at
parties. He seeks to please, and dis
tributes his attentions among young
and old, thus making all like him, and
when he goes all L sorry that they
did not have o longer experience with
him. When he goes to see his best girl
she's worth 500, 900, and he has only
his salary-he is only long enough in
her company to make her wish an hour
could be spun into week: Her father
regards him as a model of good hours,
asd smiles every time he sees him
cross the threshold. He economies
himself in fact. He isn't lavish of his
gifts of sociability or culture, but

one Of the twelve Kings of Egypt. One

installing them for a toothsome tidbit,-
pounced down and carried one off in his
beak. The bird then unwittingly played
the part Of fairy godmother; for flying
directly over Memphis,e where King
Psammeticus was dispensing justice, it
let the shoe fall right into the Kings
lap. Its SIZE, beauty, and daintiness
Immediately attracted the royal eye, and
the King, determined upon knowing the

all his kingdom in search of the foot

discovered Rhodope, fitted on the shoe,
and carried her in triumph to Memphis,
where she became the Queen of King
Psammeticus.

OF a diamond necklace.
At the sale of the crown Jewels, the

10 some friend who complimented her
on the magnifcence of her 'parure, = the

"It cost mt ten months imprison-

And this was the explanation. The

residence and offered to sell her this SUI
perb necklace.
"How much?"

"Could you keep it for me for ten
